Those held over Vienna attack are part of Islamist scene, Austria says

[AlAhram] 'One can see that all are to be linked to the radical Islamist milieu,' Public Security Director Franz Ruf told a news conference.

All 15 people arrested in connection with a deadly rampage in Vienna on Monday are part of the radical Islamist scene and just under half have criminal convictions, some for terrorism offences, Interior Ministry officials said on Thursday.

in Syria, was rubbed out by police within nine minutes of opening fire on bystanders and bars on Monday. He killed four people.

"We are dealing with a ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful perpetrator who was evidently intensely involved in the network of political Islam, of sympathisers, who took on their ideology," Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said.

The 15 are being held on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist organization. Seven of them have criminal convictions, Of those, four are for terrorism-related offences, Director General for Public Security Franz Ruf said.

Of those four, two involved acts of violence like assault and two were for attempted so-called honour killings, Ruf said, adding: "One can see that all are to be linked to the radical Islamist milieu".

has also arrested two men in connection with the attack, and Austria was in close contact with another unspecified country in its investigation, Nehammer said.

Separately, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told parliament there was a connection between the attack and people in Germany who are "monitored around the clock".

The Islamist marauded through the streets wearing a fake explosives belt and injured 22 as he fired at random before he was 'neutralised' - rubbed out by police at 8.09pm.

Austrian police have arrested 14 people in raids linked to the deadly attack and have found no evidence that a second shooter was involved, Nehammer said Tuesday.

'There have been 18 raids in Vienna and Lower Austria and 14 people have been detained,' Nehammer told a televised presser.

The minister added that police believe that the attack in central Vienna was carried out by Fejzulai on his own and an evaluation of the video material 'does not at this time show any evidence of a second attacker.'

Initial witness reports suggested that there were several button men holding people hostage, resulting in thousands of police being deployed to the city in search for them, swooping in on 18 addresses and arresting 14.

Swiss police on Tuesday also arrested two people in the city of Winterthur as part of an investigation into possible links to the main suspect in attacks in Vienna that killed at least four people, authorities in Zurich said in a statement.

Fejzulai's family 'wasn't strictly religious at all; the family wasn't radical,' Rast added. 'I still remember that the family couldn't believe what had happened with their son.'

Fejzulai was born and raised in Vienna and was one of 90 Austrian Islamic ~~bandidos~~ faceless myrmidons known to intelligence because they wanted to travel to Syria, one national newspaper editor tweeted this morning.

Fejzulai, 20, was incarcerated

in April 2019 because he wanted to travel to Syria to join ISIS but he was granted early release in December under juvenile law.

It emerged in Fejzulai's trial in April, 2019, during which he said that he had 'got into the wrong mosque' in 2016. He said in the trial he did not feel disadvantaged growing up and began studying Islam in the middle of puberty.

Asked why he had tried to join IS, the Austrian-born terrorist told the judge: 'I wanted to get away from home. I expected a better life.

'My own apartment, my own income.'

But he had earned enough through his summer job in 2018 to buy plane tickets to Kabul where he had arranged to meet ISIS contacts. It was only after buying the ticket that Fejzulai realised he needed a visa to travel to Afghanistan.

On September 1, 2019, Fejzulai arrived in Syria alone. He spent two days in a 'rat hole,' his lawyer told the court, with 'no shower, no toilet, no running water'. He was captured by police after two days and detained in ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey

for four months before being extradited back to Austria where he went under trial.

His defence lawyer Rudolf Mayer told the court Fejzulai had denounced his IS ideals after his arrest. He said: 'How can I change the ideology of a jacket wallah? Not with high fines. You have to change your mind.

'If [Fejzulai] had not attended a mosque but a Kung Fu school, [he] would have gone to Tibet and become Shaolin monks.'

Despite facing between one and ten years imprisonment for membership in a criminal organization and a terrorist organization, he was given a reduced sentence of 22 months was granted early release from prison in December.

Interior Minister Karl Nehammer today admitted the terrorist had fooled the judiciary's de-radicalisation programme.

Fejzulai's family 'wasn't strictly religious at all; the family wasn't radical,' Rast added. 'I still remember that the family couldn't believe what had happened with their son.'

He had Albanian roots and his parents were originally from North Macedonia, Falter editor Florian Kenk wrote.
